has been involved in technology for 20 years. Starting out in the DOS world, he moved slowly up the evolutionary chain through Windows and Linux, finally landing in the loving arms of the Mac community.

He has had an on and off, love/hate relationship with Macs throughout this time, having experienced the dizzying heights of the first Mac 128K when he was a boy and the unending heartache of being a Performa 6200 owner. He currently has a much more mature, understanding relationship with his three Macs: a Power Mac 5500, a 1.25 GHz eMac, and a black MacBook.

Writing about Macs in the Enterprise is his first foray into professional journalism.

• Debunking Mac myths is not the way to get Apple in the enterprise, 2008.08.06. There are other factors at work that keep those with vested interests on the Windows platform. Mythbusting won't change their minds.
• How to upgrade your eMac without cracking the case, 2008.07.14. Some people like to replace the components inside their computers, but with FireWire and USB 2.0, Apple has made it easy to upgrade using external drives.
• Turn your old Mac into a web server with Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP, 2008.07.09. Step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP on an older Mac.
• Turn your old Mac into a website server with free open source software, 2008.07.02. By installing Linux without a GUI, your old Mac can dedicate all of its resources to running Apache, MySQL, and PHP.
• What Snow Leopard means for Macs in the enterprise, 2008.06.25. With Exchange and Active Directory support coming in Mac OS X 10.6, two of the big obstacles to Macs in the workplace will be swept away.
• Linux on PowerPC Macs: Debian runs nicely on a G3 iBook, 2008.06.06. Mac OS X 10.3 felt sluggish on a 700 MHz G3 iBook with 384 MB of RAM, but Debian runs very comfortably on the same hardware.
• 5 business essentials for 'The Switch', 2008.06.06. If you're planning a migration from Windows to Macs, these five steps will help you succeed in making the switch.
• Windows on Macs: Three paths for integration, 2008.05.14. Mac users have three routes for running Windows apps: Run Windows using Boot Camp or virtualization, or use a compatibility layer such as WINE.
• Xserve: Power and value in a 1U server, 2008.05.07. Often overlooked, Apple's Xserve is powerful, flexible, and anything but overpriced, making it perfect for the enterprise.
